Into the Abyss: Art and Poetry from a Dark Corner

Depression, isolation, alienation; all are a part of the human condition. But for those battling addiction, these feelings can become a mental and emotional prison. Jody Jeansonne was a bright light who suffered from the effects of growing up in an alcoholic household. He became an alcoholic himself at an early age, and those struggles led to his untimely death at age 40. He left behind a collection of artwork and poems that chronicle the pain and dark emotions of addiction that can reside within us all.
